CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to and is a continuation of PCT Patent Application No. PCT/CN2019/083423, filed on 19 Apr. 2019 and entitled “Server Configuration Method and Apparatus,” which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201810377843.1, filed on 25 Apr. 2018 and entitled “Server Configuration Method and Apparatus,” which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of Internet technology application, and, more particularly, to a server configuration method and apparatus.

BACKGROUND

During traffic scheduling of the content delivery network (CDN), in order to prevent a single machine fault from affecting too many users, the traffic is typically scattered to a plurality of servers. The number of servers used for a domain name in a region may be randomly assigned by the scheduling system, while the operation and maintenance personnel take manual scheduling measures to avoid problems when they find the service quality is poor. Alternatively, the number of servers used for a domain name in a region may be subject to the domain name configuration file or the default value of the scheduling system, and after the service changes, the operation and maintenance personnel need to modify the configuration content accordingly.

Here, if there are too few servers, the access speed will be slow. But having more servers does not mean better speed. In the CDN system, typically it is preferred to store the accessed domain name in a cache, so that the customer directly invokes the cache during accessing and the speed is the highest; if the accessed domain name is not stored in a cache, it is necessary to recursively request for a domain name from the upper Domain Name System (DNS), but the access speed will become slower.

In conventional techniques, the number of servers configured for a domain name in a region is typically assigned randomly or based on configuration which needs to be adjusted on the basis of experiences or manually in real time according to actual situations, resulting in high operation and maintenance costs and unguaranteed configuration accuracy.

With respect to the foregoing problem that the configuration of the number of servers for a domain name in a region needs to be adjusted on the basis of experiences or manually in real time according to actual situations, resulting in high operation and maintenance costs and unguaranteed configuration accuracy, no effective solution has been proposed yet.

SUMMARY

Further, for example, obtaining the current number of servers to be allocated according to the current domain name bandwidth and the threshold comprises: obtaining the current number of servers to be allocated by dividing the current domain name bandwidth by the threshold.

A logic sequence is shown in the flow chart, but in some cases, the shown or described steps may be executed in a sequence different from this sequence.

The method embodiment provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure may be executed in a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device. Taking operation in a computer terminal for example, FIG. 1 is a block diagram of hardware structure of a computer terminal in a server configuration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the computer terminal 100 may comprise one or more (only one is shown in the figure) processors 102 (the processors 102 may include without limitation microprocessors MCU or programmable logic devices FPGA and other processing devices), a memory 104 for storing data and a transmission module 106 for communication function.

For example, the computer terminal 100 may also comprise more or fewer components than those shown in FIG. 1 or have a configuration different from that shown in FIG. 1.

The memory 104 may be used to store software programs of application software and modules, such as the program instructions/modules corresponding to the server configuration method in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The processor 102 runs the software programs and modules stored in the memory 104 to execute various function applications and data processing, i.e., to achieve a server configuration method of the foregoing application program. The memory 104 may include a high speed random memory, or a nonvolatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memories, or other nonvolatile solid state memories. In some examples, the memory 104 may further comprise memories remotely arranged relative to the processor 102. These remote memories may be connected to the computer terminal 100 by means of a network. Examples of the foregoing network include but are not limited to Internet, Intranet, local area network (LAN), mobile communication network and combinations thereof.

The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. A specific example of the foregoing network may include a wireless network provided by the communication supplier of the computer terminal 100. In an example, the transmission device 106 comprises a network adapter (Network Interface Controller, NIC), which may be connected to other network devices by means of a base station, so that it may communicate with the Internet. In an example, the transmission device 106 may be a Radio Frequency (RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet in a wireless manner.

In the foregoing operating environment, the present disclosure provides a server configuration method as shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a server configuration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the server configuration method provided by the present disclosure is as follows:

Step S202, performing data mining according to a first domain name bandwidth and a local buffer hit ratio of a server, so as to obtain a threshold corresponding to the first domain name bandwidth;

At the foregoing step S202 of the present disclosure, based on CDN, it is for avoiding the technical problem in the conventional techniques that the configuration of the number of servers for a domain name in a region needs to be adjusted on the basis of experiences or manually in real time according to actual situations, resulting in high operation and maintenance costs and unguaranteed configuration accuracy;

The server configuration method provided by the present disclosure obtains the size of domain name bandwidth of any domain name from a user access log (i.e., a first domain name bandwidth provided by the present disclosure, which comprises: a server bandwidth), and a local buffer hit ratio of a server, and obtains a threshold according to the relationship between the size of the first domain name bandwidth of this domain name and the local buffer hit ratio of the server. Here, a principle for obtaining the threshold is as follows: after the first domain name bandwidth is greater than the threshold, the local buffer hit ratio of the server no longer rises or rises within a preset margin, such as a margin smaller than a margin threshold; the threshold may be obtained according to this principle.

The reason that the local buffer hit ratio of the server no longer rises or rises within a preset margin, such as a margin smaller than a margin threshold, is that, taking a user accessing a file for example, if the probability that a user accesses a file is n %, after the number of users reaches a certain level, a file will exist in the cache with a high probability. Therefore, when the number of users reaches a certain level, it is reflected in the domain name bandwidth as a threshold. After the file exists in the cache with a high probability, the local buffer hit ratio of the server will no longer increase, that is, the increase in access will “dilute” the local cache “non-hit ratio” of the server.

Here, the thresholds vary with domain names. For example, the thresholds for non-popular websites and popular websites are different, and the thresholds for portal websites and video websites are also different. As an example, for webpage and image services, the reference single machine bandwidth threshold is 20 M, while for live and on-demand services, the reference single machine bandwidth threshold is 50 M.

Step S204, according to the threshold and the size of a second domain name bandwidth, obtaining the number of servers to be allocated;

At the foregoing step S204 of the present disclosure, based on the threshold and the size of a second domain name bandwidth obtained at step S202 (the second domain name bandwidth in the present disclosure may include: a bandwidth purchased from a supplier), according to the mathematical relation between the second domain name bandwidth and the threshold, a corresponding number of servers to be allocated may be obtained, i.e., the number of servers to be allocated provided by the present disclosure.

Here, the second domain name bandwidth may be understood as the bandwidth purchased from a supplier, for example, video website A purchases 10 G bandwidth from CDN supplier B.

Here, the mathematical relation may include: the number of servers to be allocated=second domain name bandwidth/threshold;

According to the mathematical relation, the number of servers to be allocated may be obtained. The server configuration method provided by the present disclosure aims to quantify the relationship between domain name bandwidth and number of servers during CDN traffic scheduling. For example, if a portal website has 10 G bandwidth, then the method will calculate the number of servers needed in order to achieve the optimum effect, make the traffic neither too scattered, affecting the local buffer hit ratio nor too concentrated, affecting high availability (the more concentrated the traffic, the more users a single machine fault will affect, and the greater the harm to overall service quality will be), and achieve the purpose of taking into consideration both quality and high availability.

After the number of servers to be allocated is obtained, in order to raise the threshold obtaining accuracy, FIG. 3 is a flow chart of an alternative server configuration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the server configuration method provided by the present disclosure further comprises:

Step S302, adjusting the first domain name bandwidth on a server cluster according to a preset ratio;

At the foregoing step S302 of the present disclosure, the number of servers to be allocated is obtained based on step S204. After the step S204, in order to raise the threshold obtaining accuracy, the threshold is further mined, i.e., at step S302, the first domain name bandwidth is adjusted according to a preset ratio.

For example, step S302, adjusting the first domain name bandwidth on a server cluster according to a preset ratio comprises: scaling up or down the first domain name bandwidth on the server cluster according to the preset ratio.

For example, it is assumed that the preset ratio is 20% and the first domain name bandwidth is X, so X is adjusted at a floating ratio of 20%.

Step S304, obtaining an adjusted threshold according to the adjusted first domain name bandwidth and the state change of the local buffer hit ratio of the server, so as to obtain the number of servers to be allocated according to the adjusted threshold.

At the foregoing step S304 of the present disclosure, based on the adjusted first domain name bandwidth and the state change of the local buffer hit ratio of the server, an adjusted threshold is obtained, that is, the first domain name bandwidth is scaled up or down according to a preset ratio, the state change of the local buffer hit ratio of the corresponding server is observed, and an adjusted threshold is obtained according to the threshold obtaining principle at step S202, so that after an adjusted threshold is obtained in the process of the second configuration of the number of servers, the number of servers to be allocated configured according to the adjusted threshold is obtained at step S204.

Here, the bandwidth of a certain domain name is intentionally scaled up or down on a small portion of machines to create conditions for mining the threshold, i.e., for better data mining, thereby determining a threshold and raising the threshold obtaining accuracy.

The small portion of machines in the present disclosure are randomly selected from a total server cluster, and scaling up means a value larger than the first domain name bandwidth in the process of obtaining a threshold at step S202 is used to observe if the local buffer hit ratio of the server increases; or, scaling down means a value smaller than the first domain name bandwidth in the process of obtaining a threshold at step S202 is used to observe if the local buffer hit ratio of the server decreases, so as to determine a threshold dynamically according to the state change of the local buffer hit ratio of the server.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a threshold is obtained based on the relationship between a domain name bandwidth and a local buffer hit ratio of a server, and mining is performed according to a first domain name bandwidth and the local buffer hit ratio of the server, so as to obtain a threshold corresponding to the first domain name bandwidth; and according to the threshold and the size of a second domain name bandwidth, the number of servers to be allocated is obtained to achieve the purpose of alleviating the pressure of manual operation and maintenance, so as to achieve a technical effect of raising configuration accuracy, thereby solving the technical problem in the conventional techniques that the configuration of the number of servers for a domain name in a region needs to be adjusted on the basis of experiences or manually in real time according to actual situations, resulting in high operation and maintenance costs and unguaranteed configuration accuracy.

For example, at step S202, performing data mining according to a first domain name bandwidth and a local buffer hit ratio of a server, so as to obtain a threshold corresponding to the first domain name bandwidth comprises:

Step a of S202, obtaining a first domain name bandwidth of any domain name from a user access log and obtaining a local buffer hit ratio of a server;

Step b of S202, determining a threshold according to the correspondence between the value change of the first domain name bandwidth and the state change of the local buffer hit ratio of the server.

Here, after the first domain name bandwidth is greater than the threshold, the local buffer hit ratio of the server no longer rises or rises within a preset margin, such as a margin smaller than a margin threshold. The threshold is determined according to this law.

Here, determining a threshold according to the correspondence between the value change of the first domain name bandwidth and the state change of the local buffer hit ratio of the server comprises: according to the value change of the first domain name bandwidth and the state change of the local buffer hit ratio of the server, determining a specific value at which the local buffer hit ratio of the server no longer rises or rises within a preset margin, such as a margin smaller than a margin threshold, under the condition that the value of the first domain name bandwidth is a specific value as a threshold.

Further, for example, at step a of S202, obtaining a first domain name bandwidth of any domain name from a user access log and obtaining a local buffer hit ratio of a server comprises, according to a preset cycle, obtaining a first domain name bandwidth of any domain name from a user access log and obtaining a local buffer hit ratio of a server. For example, the server configuration method provided by the present disclosure not only may obtain a current number of servers to be allocated, but also may obtain a predicted number of servers to be allocated;

Solution 1: Obtain a Current Number of Servers to be Allocated

For example, at step S204, according to the threshold and the size of a second domain name bandwidth, obtaining the number of servers to be allocated comprises obtaining the current number of servers to be allocated according to the current domain name bandwidth and the threshold under the condition that the second domain name bandwidth includes the current domain name bandwidth, which is obtained in real time by a traffic acquisition device.

Here, obtaining the current number of servers to be allocated according to the current domain name bandwidth and the threshold comprises: obtaining the current number of servers to be allocated by dividing the current domain name bandwidth by the threshold.

For example, calculating according to the threshold and the current domain name bandwidth to obtain the current number of servers to be allocated, where calculating according to the threshold and current domain name bandwidth comprises:

The current number of servers to be allocated=current domain name bandwidth/threshold, where the current domain name bandwidth is obtained in real time by a traffic acquisition device. Here, the traffic acquisition device may comprise a routing device.

Solution 2: Obtain a Predicted Number of Servers to be Allocated

For example, at step S204, according to the threshold and the size of a second domain name bandwidth, obtaining the number of servers to be allocated comprises, under the condition that the second domain name bandwidth comprises a predicted value of domain name bandwidth, obtaining a predicted number of servers to be allocated according to the predicted value of domain name bandwidth and the threshold.

Here, obtaining a predicted number of servers to be allocated according to the predicted value of domain name bandwidth and the threshold comprises: obtaining the predicted number of servers to be allocated by dividing the predicted value of domain name bandwidth by the threshold.

For example, calculating according to the threshold and the predicted value of domain name bandwidth to obtain the predicted number of servers to be allocated, where calculating according to the threshold and the predicted value of domain name bandwidth comprises:

The predicted number of servers to be allocated=predicted value of domain name bandwidth/threshold; where the predicted value of domain name bandwidth may be predicted and obtained through machine learning, i.e., a domain name bandwidth to be obtained soon is predicted according to historical data to obtain the predicted value of domain name bandwidth, and the historical data may include domain name bandwidth purchased from a supplier in history.

Further, for example, the server cluster comprises at least one server.

To sum up, in combination with solution 1 and solution 2, the server configuration method provided by the present disclosure achieves dynamic allocation of the number of servers according to the obtained threshold and in combination with the size of current bandwidth or the predicted value of future bandwidth.

In addition, the minimum number of servers is directly used if the value is below the domain name requirement for minimum number of servers.

It needs to be noted that through circulation of step S202 to step S304, as shown in FIG. 4, which is a flow chart of an alternative server configuration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, i.e.,

Step 402, mine from a log a relationship between traffic (domain name bandwidth) and a local buffer hit ratio of a server, so as to obtain a threshold;

Step 404, obtain, according to a dynamic threshold condition and the domain name bandwidth, the number of servers to be allocated;

Step 406, intentionally scale the bandwidth of a certain domain name on a small portion of machines, thereby creating threshold mining conditions for step 402.

As shown in FIG. 3, through circulation of step 402 to step 406, the server configuration method provided by the present disclosure may be realized and the purpose of alleviating the pressure of manual operation and maintenance may be achieved, so as to achieve a technical effect of raising configuration accuracy, thereby solving the technical problem in the conventional techniques that the configuration of the number of servers for a domain name in a region needs to be adjusted on the basis of experiences or manually in real time according to actual situations, resulting in high operation and maintenance costs and unguaranteed configuration accuracy.

The server configuration method provided by the present disclosure clarifies the basis for quantification, that is, from the perspective of the relationship between the local buffer hit ratio of the server and the size of the traffic, the size of bandwidth and the number of servers are quantified. For a specific domain name, the system may intelligently decide how many machines should be used in a region, without the follow-up of operation and maintenance personnel, which greatly saves labor costs.
